She slapped a Jr Handlers hand. I am working with a 9 year old who is crazy about showing. She shows more talent than anyone else I have ever seen. Her name is Summer, and she was at Eucanuba to get Jimmy's signature on his book. Although it isn't saying much, but she is a much better handler than me, already. I will warn any judges out there ahead of time. If any judge slaps this junior, I will be in the ring and bitch slap the judge. It may cost me my license and AKC privileges, but it seems to me that if you warn people ahead of time, they can consider the consequences of their acts. Evan L.
